Hey all,
I'm after any factual advice you may be able to offer me please.
I just completed day 10 of SS, all seems ok, lost 16lbs - yay
However, my MIL just phoned concerned about me. Now, she's been totally FOR me doing SS, very supportive etc, so I know she's not trying to scupper me!
Her friend is a nurse in hospital weight loss & heart problem wards.
She says that they don't let people get into ketosis with heart probs because it can agrivate the heart condition.
I did see my Dr couple of years ago & got the all clear to do SS the 1st time I wanted to start it. Then about 18 months later (just after I got pregnant), we found out that my natural family (I'm adopted) has lots of Cardio Myopathy & so far 7 people have been killed by it.
Since finding this out, I've seen a heart specialist a couple of times & was heavily monitored during my pregnancy.
This why the nurse (who is usually quite an advocate of VLCD's) told my MIL that I ought to not be in ketosis.
So, I'm now very confused & DH is fretting Bless him. I've now broken SS & shall now be off it this coming week whilst we're away on holiday.
Hope this makes sense, I'm feeling a bit worked up, lol.
Thanks in advance of any replies,
